Many people enjoy catching sunsets. Not (1) are they beautiful to look at but they also provide us with an insight (2) the world of light and colours. Sunlight is made up of all the colours of light that travel as waves of energy. Different colours of light have different wavelengths.

The stunning array of colours seen during sunset (3) caused by a process called scattering which occurs when sunlight is scattered in all directions. Red light has long wavelengths (4) blue light has short wavelengths. Blue light is scattered more than other colours of light because of (5) shorter wavelengths.

During sunset, when the sun is lower in the sky, sunlight passes through more of Earth's atmosphere to reach us. This causes the blue light, (6) its shorter wavelengths, to scatter more. As a result, this makes red and yellow more prominent in the sky, creating a breathtaking display of warm colours in the sky during sunset.

However, the colours we see can be affected (7) factors like dust particles in air pollution and haze in the air. (8) particles can scatter sunlight differently, sometimes causing the sky to appear greyish or white (9) the day and affecting the colours visible during sunset.

Volcanic eruptions may impact the colours of sunsets as well. When a volcano erupts, it releases large amounts (10) dust into the atmosphere. Dust particles scatter sunlight and thus enhance the colours of sunsets for many months even after the eruption, creating more vibrant sunsets around the world.
